Daylight surveys readjusted preliminary figures on both casualties and material losses in this third and most effective enemy raid on the base in the last five months.

Our! interest, as your interest, is that Vietnam shall have a government which is truly the choice of the people." Bunker signed the leaflets offering -rewards to North Vietnamese who help downed Americans. This was the first offer of its kind in Vietnam, though similar rewards have been set up in previous wars. "Helping American pilots and other U.S. military personnel escape to freedom can bring you 50 taels of gold!" the leaflets said.

"If you see an American who has parachuted to the ground or who has escaped capture, do not be afraid. Approach him. Make him understand you wish him no harm by raising your hands. "Help him in any way you can. "Hide him from hostile authorities.

"Cooperate with him in finding his way to safety. "You may escape to freedom with him or return home just as you choose. "You will be paid the 50 taels of gold at the time the American is rescued or at any other time you choose. You may collect the reward in gold bullion or in the equivalent amount of any currency you choose, payable in any free world country you wish." The U.S. government buys gold at the official price of $35.20 an ounce.

At the rate 50 taels would be worth But on the free market, the price would be more than double that. In Saigon, 50 taels of gold bring slightly under $5,000.

Newark Has More Riots (Continued from Page 1) to put across to Negro slum residents was to "play it cool," Wearing green armbands, the crusaders passed out mimeographed sheets and also put their pleas in words.

A Negro clergyman, the Rev. Chandler Owens, told two Negro teen-agers in the street: "Hey fellas, play it cool. You go home tonight. We're all with you. Somebody will provoke you into action and a life is lost.

Remember, we're all with you, so play it cool." However, they were up against the cynicism expressed by one unidentified Negro woman. Standing in the shadow of a burned-out building, she said: "Them soldiers can't stay forever. There'll be another time, whitey, our time." The Newark which began Wednesday night, was the second worst outbreak in the nation's recent era of disturbed race relations. It was exceeded only by the Watts riot in Los Angeles in 1965 that claimed 34 lives. Mindful of the continuing threat to law and order, major department stores and many Newark shops closed for a second day, not to reopen until Monday.

Business was reported off 50 per cent in a city saddled with damages beyond estimation, but plainly in the millions. The Newark Post Office remained closed and mail was diverted for storage to New York and Philadelphia. An embargo on the sale and possession of liquor was continued for the weekend in Newark, and some surrounding communities also closed their bars. This led Negro Police Commissioner Leonard Simmons of nearby Roselle to complain: "They're rioting in Newark, not in Roselle. They don't close all the banks when one gets robbed, do Somebody pushed the panic button." 4x MISS INDIANA Chosen in empetition Saturday night at Michigan City is Mary Lynn Haglunrl.

"The capability for excessive speed in motor vehicles is like booze," Latta told the governor's Cabinet this week.

government, seeking recovery of more of the American fliers shot down over North Vietnam, is offering rewards of 50 taels of gold to North Vietnamese who help them escape. That's roughly $5,000. Sixtcen-million leaflets pledging pay for assistance to downed Americans were showered Thursday night over a 90-mile stretch of the country northward from the demilitarized zone, a U.S. spok spokesman announced Saturday.

These explain what fo do in case a person is attacked on the street and what facts Ihe police need when a citizen reports a crime.

Police no longer require the name of a person calling in to report a crime, Chief Dowling said. OFFICIAL police phones on streets throughout the area will be available for citizens to phone in information when they see a crime occurring. The boxes will no longer be locked, Chief Dowling said, and will be painted blue and white for easy identification begin-ing Monday. Lt. Funk said there are 50,000 women volunteers in an Indianapolis crime check program that began five years ago.

They talk to schools, churches, PTA groups, women's clubs and civic organizations on crime menaces and ways to prevent and report them. Lt. Funk said the police also want to get this information across to the 7 to 10-ycar-old school students and teen-agers. Shoplifting and vandalism occur in this age group, Lt. Funk said.

Mrs. Crystal Redden of the Hammond Youth Commission said the commission published a book aimed at high school students on "You and the Community and You and the Law." A pilot program uing this book is being taught during Morton High School's summer session, she said. LEWIS WITHAAI, principal of Gavit Junior-Senior High School, said he would be interested in using this book as part of the regular program in social studies or health and safety classes. A committee of the Indianapolis crime check women will be asked to come to Hammond and explain their program, Lt. Funk said.

He will meet with the women's group, whose chairman is Mrs. Mildred Pritchett, and some of the men, Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Hammond Chamber of Commerce Building. Rail Strike hrealenecl (Contiuned from Page 1) 3 p.m. Monday would be advanced to 9 a.m., an informed source said.

Both the House and Senate are scheduled to meet at noon Monday, but many members delay return from weekend recesses if no major legislation is pending. Both the House and Senate have approved another 90 day ban on strikes or lockouts and creation of a presidential board to recommend settlement terms in the lengthy dispute. But the Senate hill would order these terms into effect if a voluntary agreement is not reached. Railway union leaders oppose this as compulsory arbitration and to date the House conferees have opposed this provision. Besides the Machinists, the unions involved represent sheet metal workers, boilermakers, electricians, carmen and firemen and oilers.

They are demanding a two-year contract with a fi.5 per cent pay hike this year, plus 12.5 cents an hour in each of the two years for skilled workers. They now average an hour, with skilled workers earning up to an hour. The railroads have offered a 6 per cent hike for an 18-month agreement, plus a five-cent skill increase.

Twin City Gambling Wide Open (Continued on Back Page This Section) hidden behind makeshift partitions. The ruse is absurd. The drop of the balls and the jangle of bells can be heard throughout the taverns. And there's a constant thud of fist against wood as players try to muscle the odds up. Patrons lined up to wait their turn at some machines.

Investigators observed card games in progress at all hours of the day at noon in the Harbor and at midnight in East Chicago. A block from city hall, there were two high stake games. Kibitzers lounged al. nearby tables. A man banged away on a pinball machine.

Police announced 10 arrests in the first week of the "intense probe." One arrest was made in the Palace Poolroom, directly across the street from the Forsythe. Police Chief Walter Raczkowski said the arrests were obtained through the efforts of officers who investigated "every known spot in town." No arrests were made at the Forsythe. The club has been the target of numerous FBI raids and the owners are on probation for gambling convictions. Horse parlors were unaffected by the "comprehensive" crackdown. Times investigators placed bets at bookie joints in East Chicago, Marktown and the Harbor.

One establishment closed the blinds on the front windows after the city "investigation" was announced. Go-Go Girls in the Tic Tac Toe tavern on Michigan Avenue near the base of the Inland Steel overpass solicited drinks and jukebox money from a Times investigator. The drinks went for $2 apiece. The drink was "champagne" with ice cubes; vintage and quality in doubt. Down the street at Pete Mable's, girls hung on the arms of patrons in booths between trips behind the bar where they made drinks and change.

Many left the premises with their customers and later returned to work. Four tended bar and occasionally walked to a table for a drink with a customer. A 23-year-old girl sat at the bar running her fingers through the grey hair of an older customer. They left and returned. Mable said the girl was a waitress, just in from another state.

Times investigators were approached by hustlers in several other bars, but there was no apparent connection between the girls and the taverns. Police arrested two women and a juvenile for prostitution June 14, before the investigation began. The women were arrested in a building at Block and Lincoln avenues which once housed the policy operation led by James (Sonny) Peterson. Another woman was arrested on charges of prostitution at 3804 Pennsylvania Ave. on June 7.

The house has been raided three times. The policy operation or numbers racket has not diminished nor has its take, often estimated in the millions, it has achieved a form of perpetual motion and has become part of the atmosphere, like the soot from industry. Runners and betters are quick but casual, and "nearly everybody plays" in some areas. Policy slips are readily available. The wheel is moved from location to location for the "pulls" which determine winning numbers.

The draw is made three times a day. Hammond police raided a policy wheel "booking house" at 907 Field Street on June 29. Detectives said the "big operation" was located in East Chicago. 7 TASTY sucker helps Terry Thompson through anxous momenls. S.
